See how the generosity of REVwords readers is making a difference in the lives of Ukrainians.In January 2024 I posted that I wanted to raise $70,000 in my 70th birthday year. Many REVwords readers responded by holding fundraising events and donating generously. We’ve raised $56,723 to date!
UPDATE: January 16, 2025. Ed informed me that some end of year donations pushed us OVER the $70,000 total goal! Thanks to everyone who raised funds and gave funds!
On December 1st, my friend Ed Dickson, with Loads of Love, sent me a report. He details what your giving accomplished in Ukraine. I worked with many of the leaders in these pictures. They are friends. And Jocelyn and I have been so inspired by YOUR efforts and generosity to come alongside them.
See what your generosity made happen.
Making a Difference
Ed says,
I am finally able to take some time and let you know all the AMAZING things that your birthday blessing funds did for our churches and the beautiful, strong people of Ukraine!
Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine
Thank you!
“What else can I say except, thank you, thank you, thank you, and praise Jesus! Without your effort much of the ministries of the church would have largely shut down during these months. Instead, they were able to surge forward!”
Jocelyn and I add our thanks to Ed’s. And the rest of the funds raised are being distributed now to meet needs.
This time last Christmas, I was away from my family in Ukraine. I saw first hand all the good that Canadian generosity is doing in Ukraine. Every gift helps shine a light of hope that Ukraine is not forgotten. Would you help get us to the $70,000 mark by December 31st? Donation instructions here.
